A Fight With Death.
Thousands of people have gone to their
deaths with Bright's Disease of the Kid
neys and Diabetes without suspecting
the nature of their trouble until within
a month or two of the grave. It is now
declared by one of the most reputable
Drug Associations in the country that
these kidney troubles are the result of
Uraemic poisoning and that a certain
cure has been discovered. The majority
of people who find health and strength
gradually failing either have no suspi
cion of the nature of the trouble or
having always been told that Bright’s
Disease could never be cured have
shrunk from the knowledge that they
were victims of it Now that a cure
has been discovered, however, there
need be no hesitation in learning what
indicates the disease and each case can
bo treated at home by the one inter
ested without either expense or incon
venience. Progressive physicians are
now agreed that for the several months
before child-birth all women are espe
cially subject to kidney troubles and
that tests should be made during this
time to determine whether sugar or
albumen indicate kidney disease. The
many cases of Uraemic convulsions oc
casioning death at. or proceeding child
birth are due to this eause which is too
often overlooked and unsuspected.
From all this it would seem a plain duty
to take advantage of the offer of The
American Drug Association, whose ad
dress is Cochnower Bldg, Cincinnati,
Ohio. The offer is that to each person
sending their addi-ess a test outfit, in
cluding full directions and apparatus
for the most accurate test for Bright's
Disease and Diabetes, will be sent se
curely packed in a wood case, free of
cost The Association is well known to
us and can be depended upon to do just
what they say.

PLEAPINQ FOR SUPPORT.
The American League ot Hawaii Appeals
to the Feople of This Country.
Seattle, Wash., Dec. 16.—The fol
lowing address to the people of the
United States from the American
League of Honolulu, sent to this coun
try on the steamer Arawa, was made
public last night:
We, like you, believe in good gov
ernment, and having in co-operation
with others freed ourselves from the
reign of corrupt rule and established
a government of the best classes of so
ciety, we protest most emphatically
against the reported assumption of
President Cleveland that the provis
ional government of the Hawaiian
islands should cease to exist because
the proposition for union with the
United (States of America had failed
to meet his approval.
We insist that the present govern
ment of Hawaii has the same right to
exist as the United States had after
the successful revolution of 177*1. In
fact, the corruption and misgovern
ment that brought about this revolu
tion in Januarv last were so flagrant
as to be unbearable and the late queen
had planned to not only continue her
corrupt rule, but set aside the consti
tution of the kingdom and attempted
to illegally promulgate a new one,
disfranchising many of the most in
telligent citizens and by her high
handed outrages destroyed the last
hope of improvement over the corrupt
and illegal aggression of the execu
tive power, so that no alternative was
left but to depose her and establish
an honest and capable government.
This has been successfully done, not
by citizens of the United States but
the movement was carried to a suc
cessful issue by people born and
raised on the islands and others who
had resided for many years here and
were citizens of the country and loyal
to its best interests, and only organ
ized for the overthrow of the old sys
tem after all hope of redress for the
many wrongs done by the late queen
and her partisans had ceased to exist
We are ready to acknowledge that
we, loving liberty and good govern
ment honestly administered, approved
of the deposition of the late queen and
the organization of the provisional
government, and give to the said pro
visional government our hearty sup
port because we know it represents
the best interests and most advanced
religious, moral, social and business
interests of the island, and we assert
these several interests are so united
-as to form a government strong
enough to stand and maintain itself
against all internal uprisings or insur
rections and that the well-known
character of those at the head of af
fairs giv.e positive assurance that the
government will be honestly adminis
tered and that the rights of the people
will be honestly cared for.
It has been asserted by the adhe
rents of the late queen the president
of the United States would forcibly if
necessary re-enthrone the queen and
re-establish her authority. We can
not believe President Cleveland has
been so ill advised, but should he so
decide we appeal to congress and the
people of the United States to prevent
so great a crime against liberty and
The right of revolution has been
a well established method of deciding
great wrongs and checking the en
croachments of kings and despots gen
erally and by no people has the
right been more generally
acknowledged than by the Amer
ican people, and in appeal
ing to that people, especially as we
have right, truth and justice on our
side, we feel we sha l have a candid
oonsiderat'on of our claims for recog
nition. So confident are we in the jus
tice of our cause that we are cer
tain our course will receive the
approval of the American people, re
gardless of party, and we insist that
if Hawaii is not united in the great
sisterhood of states that we be al
lowed to continue a government hon
estly administered and we feel we
have a right to vigorously protest
against the re-establishment of a cor
rupt monarchy on these islanda
Having confidence in the great lib
erty loving citizenship of the United
States we invite the fullest and freest
investigation, confident an unpreju
diced inquiry will find that the revo
lution of January last was not only
justifiable but absolutely necessary to
maintain our rights and guard the
best interests of our native population
as well, many of the most intelligent
of whom are active su pporters of the
provisional government and opposed
to the re-establishment of the mon
archy. _ .

WILL FIGHT UTAH'S ADMISSION
Til* Ladles* Home MUsloaarj Society De
clares Tliat Polygamy Is Not bead.
Washington, Dec. 16.—The bill for
the admission of Utah will probably
be opposed by the Ladies’ Home Mis
sionary Society which is seeking1 an
opportunity to be heard by the senate
committee on territories. The mem
bers of this society take exception to
the statement made very freely by the
advocates of the bill that polygamy is
dead in Utah and say that on
the contrary they have positive
information that the contrary is the
case. Missionaries scattered through
that territory declare that the prac
tice is not carried on as openly as
formerly, but that in the places re
mote from the towns there is little or
no abatement of the custom and in
the towns and cities there is a covert
observation of the old doctrine, while
everywhere among the Mormon peo
ple the feeling in favor of polygamy
is just as strong as in the palmiest
days of the Mormon faith.
BURNED IN A' PRISON,
Widow of a Prisoner Who Was Cre
mated Sues for Damages*
Lawbbxckbitho, I£y., Dec. ,16.—Mrs.
Alice King, widow of the late D. T.
King, has brought suit against the
city of Lawrcnceburg for $25,000. On
January 2 last Mr. King was ar- ■
rested, on what charge is not stated.
About 2 o'clock the following morning
the city prison took fire, ana before
assistance could reach it, it was
burned, the prisoner perishing in the
flames. The plaintiff alleges that her
husband offered to pay his fine before
being locked up which was refused.
The defense will set forth the plea
that King upon being released from
the prison before threatened that if
lie was ever locked up again he would
set fire to the place. The outcome of
the suit is watched with eagerness.

climate is unnecessary, Dr. Amick said
jpday: “A warm, dry climate is bene
ficial if the patient stays in it perma
nently, but harm always results from a
stay of a few weeks or months, when
the patient returns to a colder temper
ature or lower altitude. Unless pa
tients desiring my treatment, '* he said,
‘•can go away to remain until May, I
advise them to take the medicine in the
comfort of their own homes before they
definitely plan any proposed trip, de
pending absolutely on my discovery to
cure them. I urge each to first try the
treatment free of expense and then de
citie for themselves. I therefore fur
nish free test medicines for all having
any lung trouble, to enable both physi
cian and patient to judge by result*" j
